What Really Fits in a 10×20 Storage Unit? (Spoiler: More Than You Think)

When people hear “10×20 storage unit,” it can sound vague — how much stuff is that, really? At Cora Lee Storage in Waxahachie (2121 Murphy Court), our 10×20 units also stretch 10 feet tall, which means you’re working with 2,000 cubic feet of potential. That’s not just space for boxes; it’s practically a second home for your belongings. Let’s break it down in real-life terms.

What Fits Comfortably in a 10×20×10 Unit?

Here are some examples:

– Entire Household Contents: Perfect for a 3–4 bedroom home during a move or renovation. Beds, couches, dining sets, appliances, wardrobes, and boxes — with stacking room to spare.
– Vehicles & Toys: Cars, small boats, motorcycles, ATVs — even with gear and tools tucked around them.
– Business Overflow: Inventory, trade show setups, or bulk supplies. Vertical stacking means shelving units can turn it into a mini warehouse.
– Seasonal Storage: Holiday inflatables, summer patio furniture, lawn equipment, and all those tubs of decorations you only see once a year.

The Vertical Secret: Don’t Waste That 10 ft Height

Many people picture a storage unit like a flat puzzle, but the vertical dimension is where you win big:

– Use shelving to stack boxes safely and still access items in the back.
– Stand couches and mattresses upright to free floor space.
– Hang bikes from portable racks instead of parking them flat.

With 10 feet of clearance, you’re not just filling a room — you’re stacking a warehouse.

Fun Comparisons (Because Why Not?)

– About 400 standard moving boxes could fit in a 10×20 if stacked properly.
– If you wanted, you could store an entire diner’s worth of booth seating and tables.
– Or — and we don’t recommend this — you could probably fit a small marching band’s instruments plus their uniforms.

(We said it was a lot of space, didn’t we?)

How People Actually Use It

At Cora Lee Storage, tenants often use a 10×20×10 for:

– Moves: Families between homes who don’t want movers rushing them.
– Renovations: Safekeeping furniture while redoing flooring or drywall.
– Car Enthusiasts: Tucking away that classic car they swear they’ll finish restoring.
– Hobby Collectors: Everything from vintage arcade machines to dishware sets (yes, really).

The Practical Details

– Location: 2121 Murphy Court, Waxahachie, TX — easy access off Hwy 77.
– Unit Size: 10×20×10 (2,000 cubic feet).
– Access: Drive-up convenience, well-lit, fenced, secure, and 24/7 access.

Don’t Need That Much Space?

Not everyone needs the room of a 10×20×10. If your storage is more about a few boxes, small furniture, or seasonal items, the 7×10 unit is a perfect fit. It’s still drive-up accessible, secure, and 24/7 — just right-sized for simpler storage needs.

Final Word: More Than Just “Extra Space”

When you rent a 10×20×10 unit at Cora Lee Storage, you’re not just renting square footage — you’re buying time, flexibility, and breathing room. Whether it’s a full household, a business project, or that one oversized hobby, you’ll be surprised at just how much really fits.

And if you still doubt it? Bring your stuff. We’ll prove it.
